TYES (Trans-Youth education & Support of Colorado) - is an organization that was founded in 2007 as a support group for gender-variant children and their families. TYES is dedicated to helping parents cope with their gender-variant children, and to help families find the information, resources, and the understanding that they need. While the youth enjoy each others company, the parents meet together to support one another. Often this support means helping families through the process of acceptance and understanding. We also work together to find solutions for children who are starting school in their affirmed gender. Sometimes we help each other understand the future regarding safety, hormones, emotional concerns and much more.

Most importantly, TYES provides children a safe place to be themselves without the harsh judgments they often encounter. In our short time as a group, we have seen several young people find a new sense of themselves. They find a freedom in knowing they are not alone, and in being with a group of people who celebrate them just the way they are. TYES supports all families of gender variant youth, not just those that are transitioning or considering transition. If you would like to join us, please email us at the address below. Please know that we recognize that privacy is critical for our families and we work hard to protect the privacy of everyone in the group. For more information on how TYES can help your family, please use the contact information below: Phone: (720) 443-7708 Email: TYES.help@gmail.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TYESgroup

Washington Gender Alliance - We are a support and educational organization serving the entire gender community of Washington State. We run two weekly Open Support meetings in two different cities, and have been in continuous operation since 1996. Meetings: The Alliance holds support meetings run by trained peer facilitators that we select, to help people who are questioning their gender, coming to terms with their true gender identity, negotiating the coming out process, navigating transition (if applicable), or are looking for information for themselves or someone in their life. Currently, we are running two weekly Open Support meetings in two cities which are appropriate for adults. At times, we have also offered specialized support meetings for non-transgendered people who are our friends and family, and for male-identified individuals who were raised as females. Our goal is to help people who are transgender, gender variant or whose lives may be directly or indirectly involved with a transgender or gender variant person. We do this primarily by conducting community-oriented, peer-facilitated, open support groups. Our group attendees include people who may be questioning their gender identity, coming to terms with their gender identity, negotiating the coming-out process, navigating transition or who are looking for information for themselves or someone in their life. We also welcome post-transition transgender people who have integrated into society with their true gender identity and who wish to stay involved by helping others by sharing their knowledge or experience. WGA support meetings are intended for mature individuals, because similarity of experience is key to peer support. It is essential that group members be able to participate in an adult conversation without feeling uncomfortable or causing other participants to feel uncomfortable. WGA support meetings are conducted by trained peer facilitators. New facilitators are selected from our community by our practicing facilitators. All facilitators work within a team structure and receive initial and on-going training. We currently conduct our standard weekly support meetings in four cities: Bellingham, Everett, Shoreline and Walla Walla. The WGA is eager to expand our offerings to new communities and/or populations. For example, new groups could focus on specific transgender individuals, such as significant others, family, friends and allies (SOFFA) or female to male (FTM) transgender people. Please contact us if you are interested in starting a group in your area.

Tranzform - Tranzform is a support group for trans* youth, their friends and supporters. We have fortnightly meetings in central wellington for discussions, information, food and frivolity. Whether you’ve already gone through a gender transition, you’re questioning who you are, or feel like you just don’t fit into male or female, you’re welcome in our group. Tranzform is a place where you can let your glorious self out, explore your gender with youth in the same boat, and be safe doing so. *trans. Being trans is about gender. If you don’t fit societies rules about what kind of gender is acceptable, then you may fit under the trans umbrella. It’s separate from your sexuality (who you’re attracted to). Your gender is about you, your body, how you’re seen by others, and how you feel inside your head. There are countless words in many different languages and cultures to describe different genders. Tranzform is primarily a support group, and is a great opportunity to meet like-minded people. Being differently gendered can be a scary and isolating experience, especially without support and friends who understand where you’re at. At Tranzform you can walk into a room full of safe people, who are there for the same reason as you. You can talk freely about issues that can be dangerous or uncomfortable to discuss with your friends and whanau. We work on the idea that just having somewhere where you can relax, wear what you want, and find solidarity with people going through the same stuff, can make all the difference. We sometimes hold workshops on particular topics that affect the transgender community, and host awesome guest speakers, as well as participating in youth events, watching movies and going on group outings. If you don’t fit into these categories or prefer not to have a label for your gender, that’s cool too, you are welcome at Tranzform. To get in touch with Tranzform call or text: Phone: ﻿(﻿022) 105 0774, or Email: tranzform.wgtn@gmail.com or Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/groups/345956545456761/?ref=ts

INIS Intersex People of Sweden - INIS is a support group for people with DSD in Sweden. Our goal is: to act as a support group for people with DSD (intersex) and their loved ones; to provide factual information about various medical conditions that cause DSD (intersexuality);
to ensure that no medical information from health care withheld from either parents or intersex people themselves. INIS strive to end the shame that surrounds those of us who are born with abnormal sex organs. Our hope is that we can become a support for each other, and that this site could be a first step to the (self-) understanding, and (self) respect. Contact Us: If you have any questions or concerns , please contact us at the following email address : kontakta@inis-org.se
